Not as many as you have. Today I have the day off work, (I'm a teacher and the mid year reports and exams have just finished. I did mine before report-writing day, so today is MINE!!!), so I hope to catch up over this weekend. I'm a week behind.

I'm so excited...I finished number 70 this morning and am working on setting them now. I used them as leaders/enders and got through them quicker than I thought I would. This was a terrific idea, and I appreciate your sponsoring it.

I am WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY behind! Silly me joined the Old Red Barn quilt along too and I am behind on that AND I have to go out of town this weekend. Maybe next week I can play catch up??? Love seeing your pile of blocks. I still don't know how you do it.

Hey, question here. Amandajean , you use lots of white fabric....how do you keep your quilts clean? Do you wash them often, or do they sit on shelves, or do folks wash their hands before using them, or what? (I'm always so dang practical...) BTW I am having such fun with this project. At 53, my first quilt along!

I've been at 70 for about two weeks now, but as I started laying them out, I discovered that I hated the color combinations in four of the blocks. They just weren't bright enough! So, technically, 74, but only the 70 that I like will be appearing in the top.

With the wedding and all, I decided not to join in.I'm relieved too as I would have put too much pressure on myself to keep up.But I'm loving seeing everyone's progress. There are going to be some really stunning quilts come out of this quilt along.Good on you for organising it.Thanks also for all the lovely comments on my blog.I'm so lucky to have such wonderful craftswomen being a part of my quilty bloggy life.Andi :-)

I think I'm in the low forties. I have squares ready to go for the new patches so it will go quick when I sit down to sew. I am so impressed with your Old Red Barn Co. quilt a long finish! I am getting close on that too. You said your dad was a farmer, does that mean you grew up on a farm, is that part of why you are so prolific? Just wondered...

stefanie...i do believe that is exactly it. i did grow up on a farm and times that we weren't busy were rare-especially during the school year. it's extremely hard for me to sit still without doing something.

I am not officially signed up for the quilt along, however I jumped on the bandwagon a few weeks ago. I have finished 72 nine patch blocks, and I alread have them in rows. I am going to work on it some more today!

this was such fun! i finished my blocks, sashed the top and had it ready for the border blocks. . . folded it up to keep the kiddos off of it and now I can't find it--where on earth could I have put it? Hmmm. Anyone else have these mommy-brain moments?

I have 70 and the sashing is in place and the top is finished. I joined the old red barn quilt along and have that top finished also. Being out of school for summer sure does free up some time for sewing. I hope to have finished both quilts before we go to camp this summer.

I got carried away the other day and finished making all of mine! Next I'll add the sashing. First I want to get caught up on the other quilt along. I am so happy that I have gotten back into sewing again! Thanks!

My blocks are all done and actually made 7 extra. I guess, I was having way too much fun. I'm doing a different layout with some applique .... but won't be doing anything with them for a while as I have way too much on the go and must finish some tops first.

I have just finished my 80th one tonight! I see I have done a few too many, oh well, it can never be too big. I'm a bit unsure how good my quilt will look with the white borders. I may have to wait and see how others have turned out, to convince me. Mine just looks funny laid out with borders, to me anyway. Of course I'm no expert, this is my first quilt.

Hey, you are not going to believe this. I have completed 72 9 patches! I am hoping for a queen size of this beautiful quilt. I also have so many more scraps to slice and dice (and sew). I have found scraps to projects I worked on years ago that just so happen to be hanging in the closet as UFOs. I must get busy with those. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the inspiration to create such a thing of beauty.

I put the final borders on my quilt top yesterday. Hoo-ray, it's done, now off to the quilter. I'm putting a cotton batt in it so when it's washed it will shrink and look antique. This was such a simple quilt but so involved it took a while to do. But I really love how it turned out!Thanks!
